Try it out in excel. When you divide a whole number by a fraction between 0 and 1 (but not including those), the result is larger than your original whole number. E.g., 2 / .5 = 4

v.k.

dividing this way is like multiplying and multiplying is like dividing,

2 / 0.5 = 4 like ( 2*2)

2 / 0.25 = 8 like (2*4)

and

2 * 0.5 = 1 like (2/2)

2* 0,25 = 0.5 like (2/4)

very useful... for instance, for percentages.

haha i had to use a *

i was thinking

844 / 1 = 844

844 / 0 = 0 (althought not possible, devision by zero)

so the rest must be inbetween..

844 / 0 doesn't give 0, it gives infinity...
